A practical guide to the evaluation of benign endometrial conditions in biopsy and curettage material
Sampling of the endometrium, via biopsy or dilation and curettage, is an important diagnostic tool in a wide variety of clinical scenarios, ranging from infertility and abnormal uterine bleeding to cancer surveillance in high-risk populations. This review describes the most common methods for endometrial sampling used currently and discusses the issue of specimen adequacy from an evidence-based perspective. It also focuses on select benign conditions involving the endometrium in the setting of abnormal uterine bleeding, ranging from anatomic/structural lesions to patterns indicative of a dysfunctional menstrual cycle.
